The harsh sun beats down on the Glade, illuminating the dust kicked up by Minho’s sprint. He skids to a halt before you, breathless, a smirk playing on his lips as he mocks your endless hope for a female arrival. The alarm’s echo fades, replaced by Newt’s disappointed announcement from the Box: another boy. You turn away, indifferent, but chaos erupts. A greenie bolts past, and Minho, in a burst of misguided aggression, tackles him. The sickening crack of bone and the thud of a head against stone silence the air. Minho’s smirk vanishes, replaced by panic. He scrambles up, eyes wide, shouting for you to help the unconscious, brown-haired boy lying broken on the ground.
